[DJKeefy]

Angry supporters of Mohamed Morsy have threatened to commit suicide if the ousted president is not released and returned to his post.

Supporters affiliated to the Muslim Brotherhood, as well as others Islamist groups, demonstrated Tuesday at Nahda Square near Cairo University following deadly violence outside Republican Guard House will left 51 dead and hundreds more injured.

They threatened to commit suicide at undisclosed locations if their demands were not met.

They called on armed forces to support legitimacy.

Protesters announced rallies would last for two days until the rights of victims of the violence were restored.

Demonstrators said they would not accept anything other than the rights of the martyrs.

They added that they will stage marches on Wednesday evening heading from Nahda Square to Republican Guard House in eastern Cairo to condemn the incident.

Groups of protesters, with around 30 people wearing helmets and carrying sticks and shields, performed quasi-military exercises as a show of force that Islamist popular committees would protect pro-Morsy demonstrations from any further attacks.

Protesters stood in lines and chanted slogans.

Rabaa al-Adaweya Square meanwhile remained calm, one night after security forces shut down a sit-in outside Republican Guard House by supporters of the ousted president.

Protesters slept in makeshift tents while dozens standing on the National Alliance in Support of Legitimacy stage, in front of Rabaa al-Adaweya Mosque, chanted against Defence Minister General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi through the night

I thought that it was Haram to commit suicide in the Islamic faith and that they will go to hell if they do so.

They are allowed to move the goal posts now and again to suit the needs. As stated on another post, these fanatical death seekers put little value on human life if its sacrificed to make a point. Unfortunately they are always a family unit, forced to believe as the father dictates, so does this mean that these mass suicides will incorporate the rest of the family members, or will they get a free and democratic vote on the subject, the same as they are demanding for their members ...no, didn't think so.

Am I the only person who is immediately put in mind of a Monty Python sketch by this statement?

[Kevininabydos]

If they are so stupid as to silence their own voice in this manner how/why would you dissuade them.....
Darwin had it right after all.

Have to admit even before it was said on here Monty Python came to mind.

All I can say is - if this is how you want to make your point then please by all means go for it AND the sooner for you the better Advance your cause quickly - again Monty Python.....
